A tobacco expansion apparatus and method comprising a source of tower gas, an obloid transport duct (20), in communication with the gas source, a tobacco feeder (18) at a location along the obloid transport duct (20) and a separator (22) for recovering tobacco from the expansion apparatus. The tobacco feeder (18) is adapted to introduce tobacco uniformly across the width of the obloid transport duct (20). The apparatus improves the filling power of the processed tobacco and can be operated at higher production rates with less tobacco breakage, thereby improving tobacco yield.

Le chargeur de tabac (18) permet d'introduire le tabac uniformément dans la largeur du conduit d'acheminement oblong (20). L'appareil améliore le pouvoir de remplissage du tabac traité et peut fonctionner à des vitesses de production très élevées qui entraînent une réduction des bris de tabac, ce qui permet d'améliorer la production de tabac.
